proxy: bypass simple frontend requests by returning URL

When slapproxy is not using multi-master, shared frontend requests
were never fulfilled. This is problematic because several promises (for
example monitor ones) assert that frontend is instanciated and properly
responding to HTTP requests.
Better-than-nothing approach is to return the URL provided as input,
ie: "Give me a frontend for $URL" -> "OK, just use $URL".
